Well, actually, it seems like I do, though I did not really realize :-)
My point is simply: Alex's code is being used in 1-3 "stable"
applications, and will thus be tested and used quite a lot. Such code
is very valuable and should be included "as is" in the repository. I
realize now that you want to avoid "extra" code outside of the
BioCocoa stuff. So, at least, BioCocoa 1.7 could be included.
Including the other "goodies" may or may not make sense, and may or
may not make things more confusing. However, maybe restricting it to
a particular subdir in the Tags directory is still OK, as this is the
place for "frozen" items. Starting branches with these is probably a
very bad idea, and I would actually not include a BioCocoa/Branches/
Goodies directory, shame on me!
All of this also depends how you can bundle things. If the new
BCReader integrates well with BioCocoa 1.6, then we should definitely
make a BioCocoa 1.7 with it. Regarding the other extras, we could
bundle them with BioCocoa 1.7, or keep them separate (Goodies), or
not include them. Again, if they can be bundled easily and
transparently with it, then we should do it, so the good code is
there on the repository.
Alex, what do you think? In your email, you proposed:

but did you mean to have BioCocoa 1.6 + "BCAppkitStandalone"
available on the svn server?
In the end, don't worry too much about what I say, Peter: do what you
think is best. Anyway, we can always decide to add stuff later, and
start with some minimal layout for now.
